Can you use metal utensils, or does that scratch the plastic?

We just returned from the first trip using this- the metal utensils were totally fine, but the knives did leave a scratch.

No, you should use non-stick utensils. You will scratch the surface with metal.

It is not recommended that you use metal utensils, Just get a set of plastic utensils and they will work find.

Plastic, yes. Metal, only if you're very careful not to press too hard. Any sharp object would definitely pierce the "skin"-- the top is somewhat matte, and holds spread flour very well. I used a hard plastic spatula the other day, to cut top strips for a piecrust, and it worked great; but I was careful not to press too hard.

You can, but it is better if you don't. The process of the non stick coating allows for metal utensils, they will over time scratch the coating.

It's a non-stick coating of a higher quality than I've had on any other non-stick pan. I'm not sure if it's Teflon®. You could conceivably use metal utensils-a smooth metal spatula probably would not scratch it, for example-but non-metal (silicon, wood) is probably preferred.

I just used it to make mayo. I mixed it in the plastic cup that came with it, and placed the mixer flat against the bottom. I just checked, and there were no scratch marks on the bottom. My guess is if it doesn't scratch plastic you'll be safe. Hope this helps!

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

No metal. It will scratch the surface. These pans are good but you need to coat them often or the food will stick.

Metal won't scratch white Corningware, but they will leave dark gray marks that don't wash or scrub out. I threw out my set for just that reason and switched to Pyrex glass.

It might -- but what kind of utensils? Steel? Aluminum? Or do you mean scratches from knife edges?

I use acrylic tongs in this bucket. I think steel tongs would detract from its clean lines and would definitely scratch it

As with any non stick surface it is not a good idea to use metal utensils on this cookware. On the other hand, I do sometimes use a metal spoon or a metal spatula on it but it is not often and there have been no marks rom it but that is because I am incredibly careful with my cookware. I would say that in most cases it is OK.. although I would recommend that you are seriously careful with it.

Yes, you can. I used metal utensils in all my hard anodized pots and pan and never had any problems with scratches.

I would say no to using metal spoons. I have had these pans for several years now and have always used non-metal utensils on them. I also keep them stacked with a paper towel in between to prevent scratching. With these precautions they have not had any scratches and are great pans.
